Insomnia

[Stef the Pef]

I second the eating bit--some of the other meds I take say to take them before bed and not to eat before I take them, so I'm missing my midnight snacks and that sucks because I know I should already be getting back to a normal schedule (as normal as I can two time zones away from school, LOL), but I know good and well that I'm probably going to be staring at the ceiling or talking to Fluffy Bunny 'til 4 in the morning (6 TX time--so not trying to think about how Welcome Week's a couple weeks off, aughh!!!).

But yes, when I could, or when I feel like fudging with the prescription stuff ("the big bads are dairy products...I'll just pretend this is fake cheese in the tacos!")...eat something, that always knocks me out. I'm not a turkey fan, but microwaveable Mexican stuff (tacos, taquitos, enchiladas, take-out, you name it, the cheesier, the better) always used to do the trick.

Any suggestions for getting back into a normal routine? I don't really like the idea of meds messing with my sleep (I know it's a whole 'nother banana, but the one time I tried No-Doz, I went into a freaking panic attack the night before two finals, aughh!), so is there something else I should be doing that I'm not?

I blame my room...rent houses in WA state typically don't have air conditioning. It's sticky, it's humid, I'm on the top floor, and the aforementioned Fluffy Bunny is gonna stick to my face in the morning. Blecch.

So, I feel the insomnia coming on...grr, arrgh. I like sleep, really, I do...
